All Free Characters Available in Neverness to Everness

Zero, also called "Esper Zero", or simply "Appraiser", is the protagonist that you play as in NTE and an S-Rank character. You can pick your gender at the start of the game, and can swap it freely through the options in the menu, with a 24-hour cooldown.

They are a decent all-rounder unit, with a high-damaging Ultimate and Skill that cover a decently sized area. Investing in Zero will depend heavily on whether or not you plan on pulling much during the release of the game, or if you are waiting for a future banner character instead, at which point you may want to invest in the MC.

• Element: Cosmos
• Arc Type: Solid
• How to Obtain: Automatically gained as you start the game.
• Should you Invest? - Maybe, depending on whether you don't have a better character.

Mint is an A-Rank DPS unit that joins you right after the Prologue. She is a bit of a goofball, but a very endearing one at that, and she can pack a real punch with a dupe or two. She naturally matches well with the Appraiser, as they both form an Esper Cycle duo with her being Anima to the protagonists Cosmos.

She does great damage in a large area with her Ultimate, and will contribute a great deal of DPS when invested into.

• Element: Anima
• Arc Type: Liquid
• How to Obtain: Automatically joins after the Prologue.
• Should you Invest? - Yes.

Adler is an A-Rank single-target DPS, who can put out incredible nukes with his Ultimate if set up properly. As a Incantation Esper user, Mint and Adler can duo together to apply the Hexed effect which deals extra damage based on the damage taken in the last 12 seconds. His ultimate deals more damage when fighting a single-target, and combining these parts of his kit together, he can out-DPS quite a few S-Rank characters on bosses.

• Element: Incantation
• Arc Type: Synthesis
• How to Obtain: Automatically joins when you reach the Eibon Antique Shop as part of the main story (~30min of gameplay) .
• Should you Invest? - If you lack single-target boss damage, he is an easily accessible option.

Haniel is an A-Rank Support character, who you gain access to once you unlock the Gacha, as she is a guaranteed pull. She can buff the team's ATK power, scaling off of her own, but unfortunately she doesn't have any Esper Cycle's with the rest of the team, as she is a Psyche character, who can only combo with Lakshana or Chaos partners.

Still, she is a solid support unit early on, and you want to at least get her ATK up a bit to improve the DPS of the rest of the team.

• Element: Psyche
• Arc Type: Solid
• How to Obtain: Automatically acquired once you unlock the Gacha and do a tutorial pull.
• Should you Invest? - It is worth getting her ATK up a bit as long as you use her in your team, so she can buff the rest of your squad.

Chiz is another S-Rank character you can get for free, although acquiring her will take you quite a bit of time. She can be acquired once you reach a high level in the City Tycoon feature, but she is an incredibly fun character with a very unique kit. Plus, she's super cute.

Chiz is a Cosmos DPS with a very reactive gameplay, as her damage output will fluctuate due to her kit being built around an ever-changing Grain Market mechanic, essentially a stock market. You will want to release your damage when it is peaking, and build up resources when it is low.

• Element: Cosmos
• Arc Type: Gas
• How to Obtain: City Tycoon Level Unlock.
• Should you Invest? Unknown, as acquiring her in the last Beta was almost impossible. Her kit is very unique and can be quite fun, so if you enjoy it, invest in her. Literally and figuratively!
